"For the latest release on Karaoke Kalk the Berlin label introduces us to another exciting new artist. J.R.Plankton is a collaborative project by Jens Strüver and Robert Ohm. Strüver also manages the M=minimal label, with his Project Borngräber & Strüver he released in 2011 the album "Urlaub" and also a collaboration with Conrad Schnitzler titled "Con-Struct", not to forget his "Kreuzberg" release. His first collaboration with studionerd and multi-instrumentalist Robert Ohm was an hour lasting radioplay-soundcollage about Moondog. Now their own pure musical work on Neon is nothing less than a tour de force. Neon has all the elements one might wish for from a modern electronic record. The experimental nature of some of the more protracted interludes should appeal to fans of Kraut and electronica: these moments are ideal for losing oneself in the trance inducing intimacy of ones headphones. While at the same time there's plenty on the album to interest all you Djs out there who would do well to drop some of the more uptempo tracks on Neon. Debut albums don't come any stronger than this and one can only hope there will be a chance to hear more from J.R.Plankton before long." (label info)
